Welcome to the South Dakota School of Mines and
Technology!
Our goal is to provide you an environment in which
you will have excellent opportunities to continue your
education. We offer programs in all of the major
branches of engineering and the physical sciences.
Degrees are offered at the baccalaureate, master's, and
doctoral levels. Our College of Interdisciplinary
Studies offers technically oriented studies in
management, business, and writing leading to a
baccalaureate degree. You may also major in interdisciplinary studies if you would like
to begin your university studies with us and then transfer and complete your degree
elsewhere.
Since 1885 students have found this university, nestled at the entrance of the Black
Hills of South Dakota, to be a good place to nurture and more fully develop their
intellectual abilities, their character, and their spirit. We want you to experience the
educational opportunities and the friendships that bind the graduates of the South
Dakota School of Mines and Technology together, wherever they may be around the
world.
We will encourage you to excel and to try just a little harder so that you will be the
very best that you want to be. We will also be ready to assist you just in case the going
may get a little rough as you move along the road to your chosen profession.
We invite you to join the South Dakota Tech family and combine our traditions of
excellence with the newest of computers, technologies, and discoveries. We want to
help you become prepared to be a leader in solving tomorrow's problems in an
increasingly complex society.
We look forward to your continued growth and success at the South Dakota School
of Mines and Technology.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Gowen
